Creative Genius Award

This is Ella, my dear friends’ daughter who interned at The Dolphin Studio this past summer where and when we printed the 41st edition (of 2100) of The Dolphin Studio Calendar. (That is A LOT of printing!)
Ella is a dab-hand at racking paper and has an eagle eye for quality. She counted thousands of prints, packaged them in bundles of 500 and carefully moved the heavy packs without a glitch. Once a week her mom, Georgene, would make the trek to Pittsfield and drop Ella off for the day. At first she was a bit shy, engaging in conversation as needed – asking questions and working hard. Her quiet demeanor was never rude but not really forth-coming. As the summer wore on, all sorts of interesting and amazing facts were shared. These sticker ‘garments’ were one of the most notable. Shown here is Ella’s Halloween costume from 2010. It is completely constructed of stickers found in junk mail and the like. No pattern was used and there is nothing else – just stickers. It is apparent to me that this young teen is going places!
Thank you for all your help this summer Miss Ella. We miss you now that you are back in school!

About Crispina

Crispina the company was born by surprise in 1987 when people kept offering me money for the work I was making for college credit. Since then the company and I have had a wild ride of growth and environmental awareness building and change. Having run a large production company that manufactured recycled wares from used textiles for nearly 20 years, I have found my current incarnation satisfying and delicious. Now, I teach classes, run this blog and make one of a kind things from discarded clothing with my own two hands. I sell my wares from my online shop (see link at top of the page) and from my atelier located at Shire City Sanctuary, 40 Melville Street in the heart of Pittsfield, MA.
Shire City Sanctuary is The Berkshires' First Makerspace housed in the former Roman Catholic cathedral that my hubby and I own. Come visit!
